'Robert H. McNaught' (born in Scotland in 1956) is a Scottish-Australian astronomer at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Australian National University. He has collaborated with David Asher of the Armagh Observatory.
He is a prolific discoverer of asteroids, and participates in the Siding Spring Survey. He is also a co-discoverer of periodic comet 130P/McNaught-Hughes and, using the Uppsala Schmidt telescope, discovered comet C/2006 P1 on August 7, 2006, which became the brightest comet in several decades [1]. It made perihelion on 12 January 2007, and has become easily visible to the naked eye for observers in the Southern Hemisphere.
There are eleven "Comets McNaught", besides the Great Comet of 2007. They are:

★ C/1987 U3 (a.k.a. 1987 XXXII, 1987b1)

★ C/2005 E2

★ C/2005 L2

★ C/2005 L3

★ C/2005 S4

★ C/2006 B1

★ C/2006 E1

★ C/2006 K1

★ C/2006 K3

★ C/2006 L2

★ C/2006 Q1
McNaught has also discovered ten ''periodic'' comets:

★ Comet McNaught 1 (P/2004 K2)

★ Comet McNaught 2 (P/2004 R1)

★ Comet McNaught 3 (P/2005 J1)

★ Comet McNaught 4 (P/2005 K3)

★ Comet McNaught 5 (P/2005 L1)

★ Comet McNaught 6 (P/2005 Y2)

★ Comet McNaught 7 (P/2006 G1)
